Window vista

Here's my 2 cents on Vista. I bought a new Sony Viso laptop in February with 2 gigs on the board and Vista. The new computer takes longer to start up than my 6 year old Gateway with only 200 megs on the board and XP. What a resource hog!!! I have turned just about every feature off that I can, and it is still slower, not to mention the fact that it uses at least 1 gig of the ram to operate. Finding any of the settings is nearly impossible and opening any of the office products causes the system to hang for at least 3 minutes. Loading any new software or even downloads from Microsoft causes a berrage of popup warnings. Why? Shouldn't something coming from Microsoft be safe? Do people really need so many warnings? My question for Microsoft is did they actually run usablity tests on this product? Overally I am totaly disappointed with Vista, for my money I would rather stick with XP and use a good firewall.

As I run Vista on a MacBook Pro, which is powerful enough to handle Vista easily, there are few differences between Vista and its better-liked older brother. Their kernels are quite similar, stretching the internal version "Windows 6.0 Build xxxxxxx". Vista is looks prettier, and has preferences in place that people who have never used Windows might find more logical. That being said, the new prefs locations bug the junk out of me. I have gotten used to them, and as I have Vista Business on a Domain, I can tame UAC to work how I WANT it to work, not how M$ thinks it should. One big thing I like about XP: the registry has less clutter, and is therefore easier to figure out and tweak.

Hi there! I have used vista with my brother's laptop. In general vista is good but I find it slower than XP.

The only problem I had with Vista at first was finding everything!!! I've been using it for a while now and really like it.

well..I am a computer technician ...and I can tell you that sight jams and we is again now inserting windows xp and let's remember us that to the presentation of sight with bill gates the operating system jammed ;)

i found that window vista is actually new window. People said that this window runs slow and does not accept old software. After 2 years,this window is support at any thing. The graphic is cool. Thanks xD

Every new Operating system in some wat better than the previous Operating System. Win Xp: It is easy and simple to use. very user friendly and supports many drivers and stuffs(wen u have service pack 3). And lot of software available for it.Less system requirement needed. The thing is, it is vulnerable to more attacks, less security and more problems. Win Vista: It is little complicated, and good looking GUI. It is also user friendly and better security wen compared to windows XP. The thing is, it requires more system requirements compared to Win XP, supports less drivers(updates can avoid it), not so much of software's available(more will b available soon).
